Congratulations to our presumptive nominee, Donald Trump!
Great job in New York and throughout this campaign. Cruz and Kasich are now mathematically eliminated and just like all the others who were mathematically eliminated should concede and drop out so we can all unite behind our nominee and prepare to defeat the godless America-hating traitor Hillary Clinton in November.
As conservatives and patriots, it's time to put bruised egos behind us, heal our differences and act united in the best interests of our nation. The media and the GOPe will try to keep us divided, of course, but we must not fall for their treasonous tricks.
A divided Republican party will ensure Hillary waltzes into the White House in November.
Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. Hillary would be a third term for Obama and would complete his mission of completely destroying America.
Do not let freedom expire on our watch!!
I'm praying this forum and our loyal members will now be shifting into high gear to defend our freedom by uniting against the treasonous enemy within.
Let's get Trump over the 1237 mark and finally take the GOPe completely out of the picture!!
Then onward to the presidency in November!!
.....”W R O N G... Trump does NOT tell me what to believe”....
I did not say that he did in any of my post. What and who you believe is your choice as it is for anyone else.... there is however, a big difference between believing and believing “IN” someone or something.
That;s patently absurd, and represents a statement of someone who is detached from reality.
I still await hearing from you whether you will support Cruz if he is nominated?
I've answered that question to you before.
I'm confident that Ted Cruz's nomination categorically will not happen, but in the event it does, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. In the past, I've expressed my willingness to vote for Ted Cruz if nominated, but that was in the context of Ted Cruz achieving a delegate majority before the convention.
As things stand, in view of the "NeverTrump" conspiracy (as evidenced, for example, by the tweet sent out by the official Colorado GOP Twitter account in the immediate aftermath of their delegate theft) I would find it very difficult to support Ted Cruz under such circumstances.
So would millions of other Trump voters who aren't as reasonable as I am, and with good reason. Indeed, strong majorities of GOP voters are on the record as believing that the party nomination should go to the candidate with the most delegates entering the convention, clear majority or no. This is yet another strong indicator of the splintering that would inevitably accompany the nomination of a candidate so weak, opportunist, and morally bankrupt as Ted Cruz. Not to mention the disloyalty to his own party and the total lack of leadership he showed in the aftermath of the cancellation of Trump's Chicago rally.
In fact, my sentiments illustrate many of the reasons that Ted Cruz usurping the nomination from Donald Trump would splinter the party, because the process, and the lead up to it would, rightly or wrongly (rightly, in my view) be perceived as the product of a totally illegitimate series of events. It's undeniable, unless you're a Ted Cruz fanboy, which an even larger swath of the country is not when contrasted with Donald Trumps significantly broader support.
That, no pun intended, is the elephant that would be in the room, should Cruz somehow magically succeed in wresting the nomination from its legitimate recipient, Donald Trump.
You've presented no credible argument for Cruz uniting the party given the real events which have been occurring for the last few months. The reason for that is that there is no credible argument. There is only wishful thinking and willful denial of reality.
The process has been tainted by the elites, to which Ted Cruz has hitched his wagon. That is the perception, and that will remain the perception, and I see no way for that perception to be altered.
That is why Cruz's mission is Quixotic, suicidal, egotistical, narcissistic, and pvertly destructive to the both the party and country. GOP voters aren't interested in Machiavellian candidates who act as the willing dupes of a corrupt elite intent on, literally, sabotaging the will of voters to the greatest extent that they can.
Anyone who is both intellectually honest, patriotic, and sane must hope, for the sake of the nation, that Donald Trump secure a clear delegate majority in the face of the overt corruption of the party elite, as well as the naked opportunism and conceit which Ted Cruz has engaged in and fallen prey to.
To argue that Donald Trump is actually a victim of a campaign of victimization is sheer projection.
False. By the way, it's a campaign of demonization, clear for all to see, and denying it because it comports with your propaganda goals is the "sheer projection".
The reasons that Ted Cruz neither deserves the nomination nor will get the nomination are obvious to even the most low information GOP voters in America. More and more Americans are warming to Donald Trump even in the face of an unprecedented campaign of demonization, whether conducted by media organization, pundits, or individuals of your ilk.
A Cruz nomination equals a Hillary victory and a splintered GOP. While you're at liberty to deny that, you aren't capable of effectively dismissing it or explaining it away. You're woefully behind the curve, as is Ted Cruz himself.
The longer this denial persists, the greater the risk for Hillary winning and the party splintering, and the more damage will be done to Ted Cruz's burgeoning political career.
Public opinion is shifting massively against Ted Cruz even as we speak, and that's just the reality of the situation. He may very well hang on for a while longer in his misguided and selfish quest for validation, but, sooner or later, he will acknowledge the truth of the situation.
The wiser among his supporters have already done so, as evidenced by the open letter to Senator Cruz so skillfully composed and posted by FReeper Jeff Head only a day ago.
He, an ardent Cruz supporter, clearly outlined what the disastrous consequences would be should the GOP convention be contested and the clear frontrunner displaced, and I find his reasoning to be far more compelling than the wishful thinking upon which you base your hopes for a contested convention, followed by a magical unifying of the party behind a candidate which GOP voters have resoundingly rejected in all but a handful of states.
The Revolution is ON!
Vote Trump
For someone with the handle “Rightlady” you just don’t get it do you?
Maybe you can understand this: TRUMP IS WINNING THE RACE, PERIOD!
committed conservatives who for the most part make their living outside of politics and they see in Ted Cruz a real conservative
That is the JOKE of the world. When did all these people lose their hearing and eyesight.
Cruz has been cheating and lying since he f’ed over Carson in Iowa. Most unethical politician EVER!
He is lying filthy scum. Good riddance to bad garbage.
You post blank pages. LMAO!!
B U M P
“He’s just warming up. We’ve got the server, Benghazi, the Clinton Foundation and its tens of millions of dollars of accepting “donations” from foreign governments, her crap record as Secretary of State, her low energy, etc., etc. Trump will do just fine against the Witch”
Couldn’t agree more about Hillary. This ends only two ways for her. Comey finds evidence of wrongdoing and refers it to Justice before the election, which will force her to withdraw or a combination of FBI leaks and Trump campaigning hard on her negatives. In either case, she’s down for the count.
....”Cruz has been cheating and lying.... Most unethical politician EVER!...He is lying filthy scum”.....
I can see you have an opinion.

Enforce the law.
Deport them all.

And win, baby, win.
All of the above on a shoestring budget compared to most of the 16 competitors he’s defeated (after they spent 100’s of millions of donor bucks).
No PACs.
No big donors.
No party support.
What’s democrat about any of the above?
What’s not conservative?
What’s not to like?
And I’ll add a few more:
Redo the horrid Iran deal. Take a serious look at NATO. Require our allies to pay more for their defense.
Rebuild the Reagan Coalition and attract blue collar workers by making America first again on manufacturing, trade, secure borders, economy and jobs, jobs, jobs!
Make America Great Again!

Let me add---YOU are a TEMPORARY guest here on Jim Robinson's property, sort of in Jim's HOUSE. Don't come in here and sh!t all over the carpet. -gg188
Congrats to Mr. Trump on his run. I hope he proves every bit the strong conservative voice his supporters here believe him to be.
Thank you for your concern. But I’m very much aware of your reference in how the owner of this site views Trump. I am also aware he is hopeful Cruz supporters will get behind Trump if he wins the nominee.
Furthermore FR has been my ‘home’ political site for many years now where I along with others have shared our opinions about candidates and all other news event. Which they have all come in order to pass by.... You do not get to tell me I have to leave the house I was invited into....that is not your decision and is reserved for the owner himself...
This election will pass by...friends and family members here remain unless the owner determines otherwise...and that is not in your hands nor mine.
he hasn’t won yet the big liberal
That has nothing at all to do with my choice of a primary candidate....Cruz and Trump are simply political candidates running for the office of Pres. which is done every four years. I prefer Cruz over Trump just as in every year there is a favorable candidate to all Freepers. It all comes out in the wash regardless of this time of disagreement....and we go on from there.
Until I cast my vote in this primary and there is a declared winner. I will continue to support the candidate I favor...and no doubt Trump supporters will do likewise.
Agreed, I was responding to the “freebies” aspect.
I’m curious as to why anyone thinks that Trump would even consider Cruz as a a VP running mate. He says Cruz is constitutionally ineligible, that he is a liar. If he really believes those characterizations, never mind their major policy differences, how could he possibly choose him as a running mate?
...we don’t know for sure what will happen.
Sure we do.
His percentages will continue to decrease, and he will attempt to continue stealing delegates, working against the will of the voters.
Actually, Cruz didn’t give us Roberts. As you know, he wasn’t in the Senate at that time. W asked him his opinion of Roberts and Cruz said he’d be ok, but that Mike Luttig, who was far more conservative, would have been his first choice.
Also, at the time, no one knew what a squish Roberts would be .. nor was 0bama on the horizon.
